Abstract
The gasification process has developed to convert coal into the more useful energy and material since decades. Despite the numberous design of ones, entrained flow gasifier of the major companies has had an advantage on the market. Because it has a merit of full-scale and high performance plant. In this paper, the gasification technologies of GE energy, Phillips, Siemens and Shell have been reviewed to compare their characteristics and a high performance gasification process was suggested. And the simulation model of gasifiers using Aspen Plus offered the quantitative comparison data for difference designs. The simulation results revealed the poor performance of the slurry feed than dry design. The corresponding cold gas efficiency of 77% is much lower than the 80.3% for the dry feed cases. The exergy analysis of the difference syngas quenching system showed that chemical quenching is superior to another. The results of analysis recommend the two stage gasifier with dry multi-feeder as the energy effective design.
